We did not know that night What sorrow the night would bring The bitter grief, the shock severe To part with one we love so dear. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away You suffered much in silence You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage Your spirit did not bend But still you kept on fighting Until the very end God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come to Me" So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain We could not wish you back To suffer that again. "We Love You, Dad and Lolo" The family would like to express great appreciation to the Couples For Christ for their support and prayers, to the staff of the Health Sciences Centre unit GH-4, and to Winnipeg Long Term Care.
